So how many days must I eat egg whites in a row, there are only so many ways to doll them up and make them somewhat tasty? Well the answer to that question is a sad reality. A LOT! It happens to be a breakfast food thats packed with high protein and minimal fats and carbs. So every morning I cook up myself 5 eggwhites and have myself a small starch, generally a serving of cream of wheat, or quick oats or even 3 lightly salted rice cakes. The point is not that it is the most tasty breakfast in the whole world and I am just dying to eat it......no not at all.....the point is it is the best fuel for my body to cut the fat from my body, that simple. I have learned a lot from my beau in my life and one very important food thing is just that, it doesn't matter if it tastes good, what matters is if it is the best and most nutricious fuel for your body!
Yikes right!?! Does that mean I have to drink V-8 juice, please no not the vegitable juice. Well lucky for me I can get all my nutrients through fresh or steamed veggies and can stear clear of the nasty stuff. My point is not that your life is going to stink because you are going to have to eat awful stuff, most of the food you can tailor to your liking and do great, my point is that eating clean to get the body you want takes dedication..............and if you haven't gotten to the point where you'll eat egg whites daily to get that body, then I'm afraid you just may not want it bad enough.
I say this as I chuckle because just a few weeks ago I just worked out very well and ate "nutricious" but would never sacrifice flavor. I LOVE food, so I was not willing to give up taste for my body. But then it hit me, I really want that body! Not for anyone else, but for me! And I am willing to give in now and sacrifice to get it. I have cheats and everynow and again I dig into that chocolate chunk chocolate ice cream, but because I have been eating so good it doesn't effect me at all, and that is AWESOME!!
And so if your like me you may not be to the point where egg whites is your ideal every day breakfast, but to finally look the way you really want to is an absolute glorious feeling I cannot wait to feel..............and so it is with that note I grudgingly yet happily take a bite of my oh so boring egg whites.
~Jazz up your egg whites this morning with Salsa!! I know this isn't a recipe per say, but some people don't realize the tasty snack mixed in their egg whites just adds vegatables and no fats or carbs, so go ahead and mix in a bunch of your hottest tastiest salsa and enjoy! And take a look at this link from bodybuilding.com on some other great ways to cook up your eggs.

I eat an egg a day, but include the yolk. A friend told me that there's a new study out that says eating the yolk and white together not only counteracts the cholesterol in the egg yolk, but also helps regulate cholesterol levels after the egg has been digested. Still need to see the study, but... Anyway.

This is a great point. Funny that you should mention it because Jake, my bf told me to put it in this posting that it is actually a valuable thing to a diet to eat a yolk a day. Adding an egg yolk a day can actually provide a lot for your diet. While I am uncertain about this specific study an egg has only "1 g of saturated fat but 200mg of cholesterol- roughly 2/3 of the recommended daily limit, so eating one yolk a day is not detrimental to those with healthy cholesterol levels, but those with high blood cholesterol may benefit from limiting daily cholesterol intake to less than 200 mg a day." (Understanding Normal and Clinical Nutrition 9th ad. by Rolfes, Pinna, and Whitney p. 152). Also an egg does provide natural Omega fatty acids which are not only key to a healthy diet but provide a great source of energy while on a lower carbohydrate diet, because fat provides more energy output than carbohydrates. But obviously we only want to increase our healthy fat intake on a lower to no carb diet for that natural energy boost. Also animal fats may increase your natural testosterone levels, which can lead to muscle growth and definition.
ReplyDeleteIt would be neat to see this study, maybe if you get the information from your friend you could come back here and post it for us and others so we could also possibly benefit from any new information out there :) Thanks for post, and I agree about the font!
